Bringing some of the goodness of Angular.js to Knockout

I’ve been using Knockout for some time now, but more recently I started using Angular.js. And I have to admit it there are some really nice features in Angular that I would love to have in Knockout as well.

I was planning to write some extensions myself but then I discovered Knockout.Punches which introduces some enhanced binding syntax for Knockout.

One of the things I like in Angular is the concept of filters:

<span>{{name | limitTo : 20 | uppercase}}</span>

This will take the ‘name’ value from your bound ViewModel, returns only the first 20 characters and convert the result to uppercase.

And this is how you can do it using Knockout.Punches:

<span data-bind="text: name | fit:20 | uppercase"></span>

Have a look at the documentation for some of the other nice features it offers...

A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
